I had a chin that jutted out of my face like a witch's chin. I've always been extremely self conscious about it. However, I never did it until now because of the horror stories I have read. It's over a day later and. Have full feeling in my chin and lip and not any bruising. He promised me I would not have nerve problems afterwards and he was true to his word. I'm a little swollen, but anyone would be after having chin gone removed but it's not noticeable to anyone but me, I'm glad my fears finally subsided and I got this done' but I'm even happier I chose a surgeon with tremendous skill who knew what planes to stay away from to avoid nerve damage. I can't wait to see the final results but the "jut" I had is gone! So I'm hoping things will only look better from hear on out!

Hi Lalady. How are you feeling now? Are you completely healed yet?

February 9, 2012
Hi. No, not yet. I am able to smile normally, but the soft tissues are still swollen and uneven. I'm frustrated because the chin pad is super puffy, and when I smile it gets even puffier. Before the surgery, when I smiled, I never had any puffiness, it was just the bone jutted out. Now that the bone is gone, the soft tissue juts out, so I'm frustrated. But I'm hoping it's just the remainder of the swelling. I didn't realize it takes so long to recover!!!

Hi Lalady1, I am considering the same procedure. How do you feel about your results now? Thanks

All in all I'm somewhat happy with it I don't think they shaved down enough which they shaved off 6 mm. my own mom didn't notice so make sure that they take down enough!

Thanks Lalady1! I am actually going in for a consultation with the partner (Dr. Fleming) of the surgeon who performed on you. Would be be able to share a before and after picture with me? T*****@yahoo.com. I would really appreciate it! Also, how long until your swelling was not obvious and you can go out in public. Thank you for sharing your experience!!

I'm considering this procedure. Do you have any before and after pics to share? Did the chin pad swelling go down or does it still stick out when you smile?

Honestly, it doesn't look much different than before I had it done. No worse, and not really better. I don't think enough was shaved down. It took 9 months for the swelling to go down completely.

hello Lalady. I have a consultation set with the same dr next week, and I'd like to know if you're happy with your results. How long did it take for you to look/ speak normal?

Hi Lalady, I'm having chin reduction surgery on February 7th. My doctor is going to reduce in both horizontally as well as vertically by 2-3 mm. He said the difference will be subtle but real. My biggest concern is how long will I be a swollen mess? Will it be super obvious when I go back to work or can I pull off saying I had oral surgery? Thank you!
